Those Who Care
MP and filmmaker François Ruffin embarks on a quixotic mission to pass a law recognizing and supporting the army of unpaid female caregivers. The camera becomes an intimate companion, trailing him through parliamentary corridors, into the modest kitchens of struggling families, and the offices of skeptical ministers. This is a raw journey into the engine room of democracy, where the abstract concept of social justice collides with the exhausting, beautiful reality of everyday heroism, charting a bill's path from a passionate idea to a political battlefield.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Ruffin crafts a film that is as politically urgent as it is deeply human, finding absurd humor in bureaucratic labyrinths and profound grace in quiet domestic struggles. It’s a masterclass in engaged filmmaking that refuses cynicism, even when the system seems designed to foster it.
What lingers after the final vote is not just outrage at institutional inertia, but a strengthened belief in the dignity of care and the power of persistent voices. This documentary is a rallying cry that feels both heartbreaking and essential. — MovieFinder Editorial

The charged silence of parliamentary halls juxtaposed with the weary warmth of lived-in homes.
